2019: House Inspo
The National Kitchen & Bath Association recommends allowing 15 inches of clear knee space for a standard 36-inch-high kitchen countertop, and 12 inches for a 42-inch bar-height countertop. I’ve worked in less space than this, but be aware that if you go less than 10 inches, it can start to get uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time.
Bathroom options: grey
Bedroom paint: blue options
shelving, utensil rack, spice and oil niche
upstairs kitchen: expand terrace door (dutch door maybe stained glass or polycarbonate?) fridge in next to it (as in pick). Raise windows up and right -- to overlook terrace. Run a counter below the windows along the terrace wall. Add a cabinet w/ drawers at the bottom and shutter doors above kitty corner from the counter along the terrace wall and the sink wall. Narrow pantry pullout next to range. Vent and range next to cabinet. More counter space along sink wall and cabinets. Some cabinets can be glass-fronted to add light & give illusion of expansiveness.
I like the window overlooking the sideyard. For the master bath this would be either glass or polycarbonate etched by Fuji for privacy. Will swing open to water plants and for air
love the illuminated shower niche, lighting under the bench and overhead lighting for the shower
Climbing vines for terrace
Terrace plantings
I like the planting style with the tree as a focal point
Planters and containers on wheels, placement of foliage
I like the doors and how the motif is repeated in the windows. Good colour
Love container plant groupings
Can this be done with planters or raised beds on the terrace?
ornamental grasses clumped together
climbing trellis and arbor on terrace adjacent to kitchen -- trained bougainvillea or sehra bel towards roof. Try something similar either alongside terrace door and bedroom wall adjacent to terrace door
I like the tree planter and the grouping of grasses around a focal point.
a look from the back of the stand alone planter
stand alone planter also functions as a patio divider and privacy screen
terrace cover
terrace planting
terrace ideas around awning and placement of planters
love pendant lights. Industrial but chique. Easy to clean. Make sure no water stains.
Love pendant lights
Can the armoire in the dining room be painted? Function as a passway? Do I need a passway? Storage, definitely. Flush against the wall?
Matte counter and fittings
Love the backsplash. Not all the way though but only on 1 wall. Kitchen sink or stove depending on placement
Entryway option for upstairs. Bench or ottoman with cushions. Plate/holder for detritus. Plant. Narrow runner. Mirror. Potential accent wall opposite kitchen unless too busy?
backsplash tile
Enclosed laundry space + tools + storage
Bath: pull out drawers under sink & recessed medicine cabinet
Tall bathroom unit: w/ 3 closed cabinets and 1 shelf. Top closed cabinet (for bath, body and skin backups), then narrow open shelf (for candle, plant, pretties H=9") and 2 closed cabinets (for towels)
